bush_cheney2004 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Looks like Hugo Chavez lost his battle with cancer. Can't say I will miss him much, but he was great comic relief. CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- PresidentHugo Chavez, the fiery populist who declared a socialist revolution inVenezuela, crusaded against U.S. influence and championed a leftistrevival across Latin America, died Tuesday at age 58 after a nearlytwo-year bout with cancer. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/L/LT_VENEZUELA_OBIT_CHAVEZ?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-03-05-16-58-10 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Sleipnir Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 RIP Chavez. Quote "All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure." - Mark Twain
Pliny Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Well, Venezuela lost their leader today. Sad for some, uplifting to others, perhaps as politicians do have their friends and enemies. So long, Hugo. What will be Venezuela's future? Is there someone in the wings that will carry the torch forward or will there be a shift? Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.

Pliny Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 Not my favourite politician but a fellow human being, so long Hugo. The US is already being blamed for giving him cancer. The Bush administration must have had something to do with it. Right B_C? Quote I want to be in the class that ensures the classless society remains classless.

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Do Commies go to heaven or hell? Maybe.....Chavez was a Roman Catholic who embraced Jesus with both arms as he battled with cancer. The president has alternated between emotional fragility and optimism in public, mentioning God and Jesus nearly every time he shows up on TV. Chávez shed tears last month during a televised Mass with relatives in Venezuela, when he prayed aloud to Jesus to "give me life." In a later appearance in Cuba, Chávez held up the same crucifix that he said helped deliver him from one of his darkest moments, a 2002 coup that briefly deposed him. He returned to the presidency within two days. Edited March 5, 2013 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
jbg Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 He was a great man, a humble man, a man of his people. He is in the pantheon of truly commendable and decent leaders, along with Abe Lincoln, John MacDonald, Mother Theresa, Albert Schweitzer and Jonas Salk. He delivered Venezuela into the ranks of leading and important nations. He will long and sorely be missed. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

jbg Posted March 5, 2013 Report Posted March 5, 2013 The world lost a great man in Hugo Chavez today. Dead long before his time, at age 58, the death is tragic enough. The death will have a major impact of depriving Canada and the U.S. of moral leadership. He should be memorialized with Montcalm, Wolfe, MacDonald and King as boosters of the Canadian spirit. Canadians will be profoundly shocked and depressed. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone."

bush_cheney2004 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Report Posted March 5, 2013 The new interim leader is blaming the Capitalist Pig-Dog United States for giving him cancer several years ago……….. Yes....it's true. The US has secret cancer weapons that can target pulsed mircowaves at individuals to cause cancer and other fatal diseases. This is effective when there is no hurry, otherwise the U.S. uses drones instead. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
